It looks as a stable and nice collection

Just a few 1st thoughts...

I guess the Saxonia Moonphase is a natural novelty if we have a look at the other brands: they all have a classical watch with a moonphase at 6 en small second.

However, I think it should look really nice in the metal and that added to the big sized date complication, it even makes it a little more original.

I'm more an "Automatic" guy as I like wearing my watch as an everyday wearer and liek the auto feature in that context.


Not sure about the Lumen as the moonphase glowing in the night maybe a little "too much" for such an classic and well finished kind of watch.


My favorite is the Dato QP Tourbillon (more than the Terraluna and the Rattrapante-QP) as it looks really well balanced and attractive (something I didn't feel that much in the Dato QP only version).

The white and red power reserve indicator should bother me but on the pics at least.... it doesn't.

I just hope that, remembering the very thick and big complicated Lange watches in the past, this one will remain "controled".

But I like it, definitely.


Finally, the RL Tourbillon is nice because of the Jumping second feature but I think that I prefer the first version (Pour le Merite) with its little opening window instead.

They have their own vision of complicated watches and features they arrange in their pieces and that is nicely done.

I see that some models are limited at a high number and I think that it is a good choice: instead of leaving them "unlimited" in a company which won't be able to produce that much watches, hence having less development and novelties, there are more complicated models.


All this will be seen in the metal for a final opinion of course.

Thank you very much for the wristshots Fx.

Cheers, Mark
